all the gun stuff in there. I include the pro and con threads in that. At one point, I only had 6 threads on my page 1. Also people posting gossip rags as sources of info.

Between all the incessant gun posts, many of which are just different iterations of the same damn thing, over and over and over again, it's also back to the hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing on the "fiscal cliff". And, much of that is based on pure speculation and gossip. It's getting extremely nauseating and depressing.
